Green Spot Chateau Leoville Barton Mitchell & Son is a distinctive Irish whiskey, born from the collaboration between Mitchell & Son and the renowned Chateau Leoville Barton from Saint Julien, France. This single pot still whiskey undergoes an initial maturation in traditional sherry and bourbon casks, followed by a unique finishing process in French oak wine casks from Chateau Leoville Barton, imparting an intriguing new dimension to its flavor profile.
Crafted at the Midleton distillery, this whiskey is produced by triple pot-still distillation using a blend of malted (40%) and unmalted (60%) barley. It is initially aged for a minimum of 7 years, and up to 10 years, in a combination of oloroso sherry and bourbon casks. The whiskey is then finished for an additional 12 to 24 months in Bordeaux wine barrels from Chateau Leoville Barton.
The Green Spot Chateau Leoville Barton boasts a rich and complex flavor profile, characterized by notes of ripe red apples, decadent dried berries, and an array of spices, all harmoniously balanced with crisp woodland nuances and a hint of smoky oak. The finishing process in Bordeaux wine casks imbues this whiskey with a profound red wine character, making it truly unique and exceptional.
